Employment-Based Immigration
Employment-based immigration allows skilled professionals, investors, and multinational employees to work and live permanently in the United States. Each visa category carries specific eligibility requirements, deadlines, and documentation standards. I work closely with clients and employers to make sure every petition is strategically built for approval.

The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to hire qualified workers for certain professional jobs that require specialized knowledge. These jobs usually require a bachelor’s degree or higher in a field related to the work.
-
You may qualify if a U.S. employer offers you a job that meets the H-1B requirements and you have the education, training, or experience needed for that job. Your employer must sponsor you and meet the required U.S. wage and employment rules.
-
I work with both you and your employer step by step through the H-1B process. I review the job and your qualifications, prepare the required forms, help with the Labor Condition Application, organize the supporting documents, and handle the H-1B petition with USCIS. If your case is subject to the H-1B registration process, I also help make sure important deadlines and filing requirements are not missed.

The L-1 visa allows certain international companies to transfer an employee from an office outside the United States to a related U.S. office.
The L-1A is for managers and executives. The L-1B is for employees with specialized knowledge about the company, its products, services, or operations.
-
You may qualify if you have worked for a related company outside the United States for at least one continuous year during the required three-year period. The foreign company and the U.S. company must also have a qualifying business relationship, such as a parent company, subsidiary, branch, or affiliate.
-
I work with you and your company step by step through the L-1 process. I review the relationship between the U.S. and foreign companies, your job history, and your role in the business. I help gather company records, prepare the required forms and supporting documents, and clearly show USCIS why the company and employee qualify for the L-1 visarequirements are not missed.

EB-2 / EB-3 Green Cards
-
EB-2 and EB-3 are employment-based Green Cards that allow qualified workers to live and work permanently in the United States. The right category depends on your education, work experience, skills, and the job being offered.
-
You may qualify for EB-2 if you have an advanced degree or exceptional ability in your field. You may qualify for EB-3 if you are a professional, skilled worker, or certain other worker who meets the requirements of a permanent U.S. job.
Most EB-2 and EB-3 cases require a U.S. employer to sponsor you, although some EB-2 applicants may qualify to apply without an employer through a National Interest Waiver.
-
I work with you and your employer step by step through the Green Card process. I review your education, work experience, and job offer to determine which category may fit your case. I also help with the labor certification process when required, prepare the immigration petition, organize the supporting documents, and make sure you understand what comes next at every stage.
-
PERM is a process many U.S. employers must complete before sponsoring a worker for an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card. The employer must show that the job is permanent and that qualified U.S. workers are not available for the position.
-
PERM is generally for U.S. employers that want to sponsor a foreign worker for a permanent, full-time job. The worker must meet the education, experience, and other requirements for the position.
-
I work with the employer step by step through the PERM process. I help prepare the job requirements, handle the prevailing wage process, guide the required recruitment, prepare the PERM application, and organize the records that must be kept. If the Department of Labor has questions or audits the case, I also help prepare the response.
